One of the hottest viral videos of the last year, Chloe and Keith’s Wedding, a funny 44 second clip of a bride getting knocked into a pool by the clumsy best man mid-ceremony, is a hoax.

Chloe and Keith are actors named Josh Covitt and Charissa Wheeler. They’re not married. The clip and its video follow-up are both part of a completely scripted independent film conceived by writer/director Archie Gips along with producing partner Dennis Anderson and executive producer Nancy Moonves (ex-wife of CBS chief Les Moonves). The pool the bride fell into? That was Nancy’s. It was filmed at her house.

“Yes, it’s a hoax,” Archie told Lifeline Live in a phone call a little while ago. Added Nancy, “We didn’t set out to fool anyone. It just took on a life of its own.”

The clip was uploaded to YouTube in October of 2008 and has been viewed by at least 30 million people since then. In February, Time magazine ranked it as one of Internet’s 99 Greatest Hits. It has aired on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, The Today Show, Good Morning America, The Early Show and Australian, British and Japanese news networks.

“Chloe and Keith’s Wedding” the film, is described as a voyeuristic look at the wedding ceremony and reception of Chloe and Keith Feingold, drawn from footage taken by the event’s videographer and by guests using handheld video cameras supplied by the couple to capture candid moments. The multiple perspectives reveal a heartfelt and hilarious documentary that captures all the drama and high jinks of the day and makes public the rest of the story behind the most disastrous wedding ceremony in recent memory.

The film is now available as a 40-minute DVD and download.
